BAISE, China, Oct. 29, 2020 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

Guangxi Baise held the Baise Key Development and Opening Pilot Zone in Guangxi

(Shenzhen) Promotion Conference & the "Greater Bay Area Enterprise Settlement

in Baise" Project Investment Signing Ceremony in Shenzhen recently. A total of

39 projects were successfully signed with a total investment of 39.653 billion

yuan, according to the Publicity Department of Baise Municipality.

In March 2020, the State Council of China approved the establishment of Baise

Key Development and Opening Pilot Zone in Guangxi. On April 15, the National

Development and Reform Commission of China issued the Implementation Plan for

the Construction of Baise Key Development and Opening Pilot Zone in Guangxi. As

the eighth full-area border key development and opening pilot zone in China and

the country's first prefecture-level one, the construction of Baise Pilot Zone

has attracted much attention.

Baise Pilot Zone covers the whole urban area of Baise, with a total area of

36,300 square kilometers and a total population of 4,226,800. It will set up

two national border ports (Longbang and Pingmeng) and seven border residents

mutual trade zones (spots) like Yuexu. The pilot zone will build a full-scale

development and open pattern of "three zones and one axis", namely: open

leading zone, key development zone, green development zone, and linkage

development axis.

The open leading zone mainly includes the three border counties (cities) of

Jingxi, Napo, and Debao, where it aims to construct open platforms such as

cross-border economic cooperation zones and comprehensive bonded zones to

create export-oriented industrial clusters. The key development zone mainly

include Youjiang District, Tianyang District, Tiandong County, and Pingguo

City, focusing on the development of characteristic and advantageous

agriculture, integration of coal, electricity and aluminum, machinery

manufacturing, biomedicine, new materials, trade, and logistics. The green

development zone mainly includes five counties: Lingyun, Leye, Tianlin,

Longlin, and Xilin, focusing on promoting the construction of a longevity

healthcare belt in western Guangxi, a cross-provincial cooperation park, and a

modern characteristic agricultural demonstration zone. The linkage development

axis takes Chongqing-Guiyang-Baise Expressway and railway connecting to Vietnam

as the main channel, actively participates in the construction of the new

western China land-sea channel, and strives to build a high-quality linkage

development axis that integrates channels and industries.

Baise has established a special work group for the setup of Baise Pilot Zone,

and it will adopt the work methods of "wall chart based operations", "list

management", "rotated advancement", and "designated responsibility" to advance

the construction of the pilot zone. With internal organization and external

conditions in place, the construction of Baise Pilot Zone is ready for

full-scale advancement.
